Hi Experts,

My client wants to modernize our application (PowerBuilder 2022) and re-platform (Client considers PowerBuilder as Legacy old technology).

Seeking expert advice as to what is the next best tool available in the market which has withstood time and support (like PowerBuilder):

 

Here are a couple of my client's requirements/expectations (business wants similar interface that PB provides but with modern technology):

1. Modernize PowerBuilder Application to new robust client server model (business/clients considers PowerBuilder as Legacy software/Technology)

2. Have user interface just like PowerBuilder with right click menu and popup windows to enter Notes (Client/Server Model)

3. Access and integrate real time data from multiple applications (including OpenText Content Server and other Web applications)

4. Ability to Integrate with Microsoft Outlook (as the client want all the emails sent from the application to be viewed and updated to the application), view emails from the application with ability to view the attached documents.

5. Display home page contents based on a user's preference and include or exclude items for screening, favorites, task/to-do list. Add data view or remove data view from other web-based applications that work with similar (or master) data.

6. Automated notifications to users within the application based on business rules, ability to subscribe to notifications, opt out, delete notifications.

7. Have robust spell check.

8. Have robust security feature.

9. Ease of deployment.

 

Some of the Software that offer similar client/Server user interface and the drawback I understand/assume from what is available (please correct me if wrong):

1. Oracle Forms - > soon to be out of support.

2. C# Forms --> hard to integrate with database (if the data grid or form is not used)

3. Silverlight --> difficult integration with database (out of support).

Experts advise what is my safe bet. Your Industry experience and recommendations is highly appreciated.

 

Thanks

Suresh.T
